Elberta Albright Cling This variety was origmated by Mr. Albright, near Placer- ville, California and is a great favorite among canners especially in the San Joaquin valley. It ripens about the first week in August thus enabling the canners to make a more continuous run. The tree is a strong vigorous grower and a good bearer. The fruit is very large and uniform in size, yellow in color, having a bright red cheek on the sunny side. Its quality and flavor are of the best.

The skin is of a greenish white color, partly covered with a deep red; the flesh is white, juicy and of good flavor. We highly recommend the planting of this variety to those who wish to supply their local markets, as well as to all who intend planting in family orchards. Rioens about the 10th of June.
